Defrosting
Use the DEFROST oven function for defrosting. 
1 Important: When defrosting always leave the oven lighting switched 
on! Otherwise the defrosting time will increase. 
Ovenware for Defrosting 
•Place food on a plate and put the plate on the shelf. 
•Use only grease-proof paper or foil to cover the food. Do not use a 
plate or bowl, these will considerably increase the time taken to defrost 
the food. 
Shelf Positions 
•For defrosting, position the shelf on the 4th level from the top. 
3  The suggested temperature of 30 °C for the DEFROST oven function 
cannot be changed.
